William Anastasi

Time is an interesting concept; people try to give their lives a sense of order and try to exercise some control over their lives. “Out of Time” was a well-orchestrated group exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, 2006. The exhibition raised the issue of the relationship between time and people. The show focused on variations on the theme of time. It was poetic and political.
For example, in William Anastasi’s 60 Minutes, time was used as an element of physics; it is rigid and linear.

In Anastasi's early work, Nine Polaroid Portraits of a Mirror, 1967, time divided into smaller parts and became an endless labyrinth. It shows the ironic tension of reality and nonlinear time.
